The garage not only had concrete issues but termite and water issues. When building the garage they didn't build the retaining wall high enough so the sill plate was rotted and then the termites feasted on the 2x4 walls for years. We had to build an inner supporting wall so we could cut the...

The right garage door had a 8 inch drop in the concrete over a 9 foot span. I found markings that the concrete was poured in 1972 by the family that owned the house. As you could imagine it would be difficult to get a seal on the door. I am guessing a **** could have made it under or possibly...

Well it's been 3 years since inception of the project and I am sad to say it has come to a close. Before posting pictures I wanted to have the garage completed because like some people I am an instant gratification person and want to see something completed when I start reading a thread. As...

Lithonia has a great tool to download that will help on placement and the amount of bulbs you will need. I am setting around 50 ft candles per sq foot. Granted my walls are white and ceiling is white as well which helps.

We had our first family gathering in the garage this last Friday. I have had the heater up and working for about a year but didn't have insulation above the ceiling. Friday was about 45 degrees outside and wind gusts around 15mph. The garage stayed at a perfect 68 degrees with no problem. I...

Thanks guys I appreciate it.

Is this against code? I have a friend that ran it in the same bulkhead and was wondering if this is against code. I don't know if this would be state specific but the said house is in KY.

Looks good. I had a 94SHO and a 98 Contour SVT. Loved both of the cars. The new SHO is just a little to big for me. I think I will wait for them to do something with the new Fusion. I know....... I will probably be waiting for a long time.

Looking good! What part of Indy are you from?

I had closed cell sprayed under the house and open cell sprayed in the garage. Under the house it is sprayed around two inches thick and in the garage it's sprayed 3-1/2 inches the depth of the 2x4. I looked at all the diy kits and they couldn't touch the price of the local vendor. Plus I...

I finally finished my first bench. I took some pointers from you all and added a few of my own ideas. The top is 16 gauge mild steel and is 30 inchs deep and 40 inches high. I incorporated a small 2.5 gallon bosch water heater under the cabinet. I filled and sanded all cracks then painted...

I am hoping to get some useful info as well. I decided polished concrete route but I am confused what to go with. I called sunbelt rentals and they have a 10 hp grinder with diamond teeth that you switch out to create different abrasiveness. He couldn't tell me if it would match a 400 or 800...

I looked at this hard last year and decided to have the pro's do it. For a 25x40 @ 8 feet tall garage and crawlspace which was 30x50 and three feet tall they charged me 1400 dollars. 2 inches of closed cell was sprayed in the crawlspace and the 3.5 to 4 inches of open cell foam was sprayed in...

I had this done in the fall along with my 900 sq foot garage. My house is 1300 sq ft. They sprayed the rim joist and down the wall. Underneath the foam I have a good 12 mil vapor barrier that encapsulated the whole crawl space with. They sprayed a little over an inch of closed cell in the...

I didn't quite have that big of a gap on the sides but what I ended up doing is drilling the rivits on the side rails and then adding bolts to move the rail closer to the jamb. My doors are tight on the weather stripping now. The bottom can be fixed as well, either add a rubber threshold or...

Use this and just rip it down with a table saw. Use the left overs as a backsplash. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40057853/

A good beeline cabinet would prevent them getting to the dvr or if your dvr allowed to be mapped to drive and then have the external drive capture the footage setting in a gun safe. This is assuming you have implemented a other levels of security. A decent intrusion panel with strobes, sirens...

I come from the industry as well and you are not going to get a quality system with Costco components. A lot of these manufactures will tout 30FPS but that is only on one channel. If you are going to have more than one camera then that will not do. My opinion on PTZs is that they are useless...

I have ran into the same problem but decided not to mount anything above the garage doors because in the summer i leave them up which would be a waste for me. After mounting and powering them on I don't have any problems seeing in the back where I didn't place them. Also I work in the engine...
